\"\"<\/a>As a \"bonus\" \"bonus\" another from Charles Wesley's Christmas Hymn Book - Hymns for the Nativity of our Lord (first published in 1745).<\/p>\n

For today we have hymn number 12 from the collection. \"Sing you all you nations sing\".<\/p>\n

One thing to especially note in the original is the use of the word \"condescending\" which at the time the hymn was written was considered a positive word \"a positive characteristic of a person of superior set of characteristics lowering themselves to speak kindly to an inferior\" <\/b>it was in the Victorian era that this became negative.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This one can be sung to the hymn tune Nottingham - \"Take my life and let it be\". If I have time I will record it to that tune for completeness but I am sure you can hum it while you read the words.<\/p>\n

As it has nine verses the \"worship song\" version is a little repetitive, as indeed is the Nottingham one, but it being sung as a duet helps a lot in adding variation to the song. At least I think it does.<\/p>\n

Credit goes to Mr Wesley for his magnificent hymn writing and Suno.com for the wonders of the music generation they have made possible.<\/p>\n

I hesitate to claim copyright on these re-writes but under the terms of the Suno licence, the music is owned by me and possibly copyright me. However, copyright is a minefield at the best of times and more so in the A.I. world.<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSing, you every nation, sing
\nPraises to our new-born King;
\nCome a child our maker is,
\nLord of heaven, Prince of Peace.<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSee! He lays His glory by,
\nEmptied of His majesty!
\nSee the God who all things made,
\nHumbly in a manger laid.<\/p>\n

[Verse 3]
\nNo more do we need to fear,
\nBoldly to His crib draw near;
\nJesus is as human born,
\nGod-with-Us is all our own.<\/p>\n

[Verse 4]
\nLet us then with angels gaze
\nOn our new-born Saviour\u2019s face,
\nWith the choir of heaven joined,
\nPraise the Savior of mankind.<\/p>\n

[Verse 5]
\nSon of Man, will He refuse
\nAll our heartfelt sacrifice?
\nNo; with humble loving grace
\nHe accepts His children\u2019s praise.<\/p>\n

[Verse 6]
\nWill His majesty dismiss
\nShepherd\u2019s simple songs of bliss?
\nNo; for all our shepherd He
\nLoves our worship\u2019s melody.<\/p>\n

[Verse 7]
\nHe will not ignore the song
\nOf the stammering infant\u2019s tongue;
\nBabes He hears gentle and mild,
\nOnce Himself a little child<\/p>\n

[Verse 8]
\nLet us then our Prince proclaim,
\nHumbly shout Immanuel\u2019s name;
\nSinging at His wondrous birth
\nPraise in Heaven, peace on earth.<\/p>\n

[Verse 9]
\nTriumph in our Savior\u2019s love,
\nTill He takes us up above,
\nAll His majesty displays,
\nShows again His glorious face..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

1. Sing, ye ransomed nations, sing
\nPraises to our new-born King;
\nSon of Man our maker is,
\nLord of Hosts and Prince of Peace.<\/p>\n

2. Lo! He lays His glory by,
\nEmptied of His majesty!
\nSee the God who all things made,
\nHumbly in a manger laid.<\/p>\n

3. Cast we off our needless fear,
\nBoldly to His cratch draw near;
\nJesus is our flesh and bone,
\nGod-with-Us is all our own.<\/p>\n

4. Let us then with angels gaze
\nOn our new-born monarch\u2019s face,
\nWith the choir celestial joined,
\nShout the Savior of mankind.<\/p>\n

5. Son of Man, will He despise
\nMan\u2019s well meaning sacrifice?
\nNo; with condescending grace
\nHe accepts His creature\u2019s praise.<\/p>\n

6. Will His majesty disdain
\nThe poor shepherd\u2019s simple strain?
\nNo; for Israel\u2019s shepherd He
\nLoves their artless melody.<\/p>\n

7. He will not refuse the song
\nOf the stammering infant\u2019s tongue;
\nBabes He hears humanely mild,
\nOnce Himself a little child.<\/p>\n

8. Let us then our Prince proclaim,
\nHumbly chant Immanuel\u2019s name;
\nPublish at His wondrous birth
\nPraise in Heaven and peace on earth.<\/p>\n

9. Triumph in our Savior\u2019s love,
\nTill He takes us up above,
\nAll His majesty displays,
\nShows us all His glorious face.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
